Why Give?

Nearly 30 million battle diabetes and every 23 seconds someone new is diagnosed. Diabetes causes more deaths a year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Your gift today will help us get closer to curing diabetes and better treatments for those living with diabetes.

Work at Camp

Join the Fun — Apply to Work at Camp

Experience the rewards of an American Diabetes Association's Camp. Spend a week of your summer reliving the joys of childhood fun and becoming inspired by kids living with diabetes. Understand and experience first hand what your patients live with daily.

Meaningful work and the real chance to make a difference in the lives of kids with diabetes. Most Camp staff are volunteers. Some receive a very small stipend. Donations of staff time, supplies, and services allow the American Diabetes Association to keep the cost of Camp affordable to families.

The Application Process

The safety of our campers is our number one priority. Our hiring process:

Starts with a formal application. All volunteer and paid staff must complete a written application, first time staff participate in a personal interview, and provide references.

Includes mandatory background checks for all paid and volunteer staff. No credit checks of any kind are run.

Requires thorough screening of all candidates and an annual review of Camp job performance.
